WiMLSS Forward: From Reflection to Action Conference

Join educators from across Wisconsin for a dynamic conference grounded in the Wisconsin Multi-Level Systems of Supports (WiMLSS) Framework. This event offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on systems work, collaborate with peers, and take actionable steps toward supporting the success of each and every student across the state.

Pre-Conference 

An optional pre-conference will be available for school and district leaders, focusing on strengthening leadership and organizational structures to drive technical shifts that support adaptive change in high-quality instruction and the strategic use of data.

The Pre-conference will focus on attuning to the technical aspects of implementing Wisconsin’s Framework for Multi-Level Systems of Supports (WiMLSS), providing leaders with an opportunity to strengthen their understanding of key system features that support effective system practices. The session will address the Strong Shared Leadership key feature, offer an administrative overview of technical tools, and emphasize the importance of linked team structures. Participants will also explore how to build purpose around implementation system assessment tools and engage in action planning to support meaningful next steps. This time will also help team leaders prepare to set their teams up for success and maximize learning during the full conference that follows.
